Having said that, relax then and drink your kunu.

No wahala!

Don't cry more than the bereaved.

Not crying, just facts... your comrades have caused people to wail in the east though.

Adios.

Loud it.....


Kwestionair:
I will say this again:

All I see is non-igbos pretending to be igbos and crying, wailing on Igbo affairs as if they care about the Igboman.
As if without sit at home Soludo will turn anambra to London. The same crop of politicians? I pity anambra people who are falling for this polithiefcians deception.

That is the sacrifice for freedom. It doesn't make anybody poorer. It is tantamount to saying that not working on weekends will make you poorer. The people are gradually getting used to it.

HOW SIT AT HOME MAKES THE POOR POORER IN SOUTHEAST.

I am going to use Ariaria market as a case study because I reside around that area. Thousands of customers come from Uyo, Calabar, Rivers, Bayelsa to buy things from Ariaria market on week days. They will patronize wheelbarrow pushers that will carry their goods to the bus, they will patronize mamaput sellers, they will patronize okada riders, keke etc.

Traders in Ariaria are higher in population than these customers that come from outside Abia state. The market is also patronised by residents of Abia. They will also need the services of wheelbarrow pushers, okada riders, mamaput, keke, etc.

If the average person in any of these categories makes 4,000 naira daily, it means every Monday sit at home he/she loses 4,000 Naira.

36 days of sit at home have been observed on Monday since August 2021.

36 days × 4,000= 144,000 naira.

If the poor have lost 144,000 naira, the middle class may have lost about a million naira, while the rich will be counting their losses in hundreds of millions.

Sit at home will not affect the salaries of Buhari.
Sit at home will not affect the salaries of any governors.
Sit at home will not affect the salaries of any minister.
Sit at home is a self imposed embargo on the people you claim to be fighting for. It is an economic suicide.

The kind of misinformation people outside the SE get is overwhelming. Who told you Sit-At-Home was designed to punish the governor or whatever idiot in Aso Rock? The (Ipob) Sit-At-Home, which comes up everytime NK appears in court is in solidarity with NK.

I'm not in support of the Monday Sit-At-Home, but mind you, even with that enforced sit at home sponsored by FG hooligans, it is still not affecting the public that much as you think. Procrs of shops are still very high in Onitsha, Aba, and PH. Your calculations up there doesn't hold water, it is totally useless.

And BTW... who told you it doesn't affect the federal or state purse? Who is your economic teacher? And since when have you guys started caring for the SEners? All you guys ever wanted is for them to be defeated, suppressed, humiliated. All you guys want is fir them to drop the agitation, so... why care so much now?!

And how come you didn't talk about the economic implications of the Fulani invasion dah year? Where were you economics before the arrival of ESN, when Fulani terrorists were killing, raping, and almost took over villages? You guys are mind, all if you.

Nice observation but the truth is look not on the messenger but the message, op gave a brilliant analysis of how the economy of the south east is bleeding, same thing I told a guy on this platform that Monday sit at home is not justifiable at all,.what of an emergency situation a doctor is needed, make ur research and you will be shocked that these cases are grossly under reported, I just pray this madness stops. Suggesting sit at home only when MNK appears in court could but not totally be seen as the solidarity of the south east to one of their sons and not crippling the economy of a whole region every week that's really absurd.
Rugaria:
Go through the post history of the restless op.
You will notice that lately, all he does here is to ceaselessly unload all sorts of uncouth vituperations on the people of the South East. It has become some sort of mission for him. He has become shameless doing this.

Now, all of a sudden, he's worried about the well being of The South East! Not like we're complaining to him! He's all over the place, preaching against dit at home and all that... Whenever your arch enemies start to advice you against a course of action, follow that course through. There lies your success..

No body is paid salary for sit at home. it's a protest since you can't do a public protest in Nigeria. this is a simple thing we expected some matured mind to understand but, no they choose to be totally blind. freedom needs a lot of sacrifice.

Release MNK for us.
Nigeria is a scam
Unity for exploitation.
Unity in captivity/ slavery.

Yes under the present condition ;where mr Buhari insulted Igbos for seven years, fulanis massacres indigenous landlords; in their quest for land grabbing & non arrested ;and prosecuted. Yes because tribe, religion and cattle are preferred to national unity, YES we're tired of this union; make researches and ask questions, if not for ipob and ESN fulanis would have taken over our lands.
The sit at home is very effective..... its sending a strong message ; we regret all the inconveniences ; this has caused our fellow Biafrans .

Soludo that is preaching against sit at home is from Sambisa?

A mosquito perched on your face, and you want to use hammer to kill it. Na your face go disfigure na.

Sit at home is not helping SE economy but it's still affecting everyone directly and indirectly.

Banks makes profits by opening on Mondays and pays taxes to the State and Federal government.

Security agents are being paid by the Federal government. Python dance and other military excerise in the SE are being sponsored by Federal government.

Unabated sit at home on Mondays shows the weakness of our security agents and the Federal government in the area of protecting and exercising authority over all parts of Nigeria.

Other tribes have there ppl in the SE and they are also affected by sit at home.

One of the major chargers against Kanu by the Federal government is Monday sit at home.

Nigerian security agents are dying and they have family and relations to which all Nigerians are affected directly or indirectly.

I listed these to show you that sit at home is affecting PMB, governors and everyone paying tax in Nigeria. It's living in denial if you say that sit at home in the SE is not affecting Nigerian government.

I spent hundreds of thousands flying around the North last year just because of insecurity, if i say that insecurity in the North is not affecting me because I'm not from the North, i lied.

Thank you and have a wonderful week.

So you prefer the bandit style? As much as I don't support inciting violence, I believe the sit-at-home strategy reduces casualties.
If it's not having impact, why is everybody talking about it including those well-known bigots typing "e no concern me"?
what you fail to understand is,this is a threat to whoever is a sitting governor and a test of popularity.

If this is taken a notch higher, the political class in the south east will sit up.

That said,
So if there was public holiday on those Mondays,the southeasterners would die of hunger?A day that can be easily replaced to recoup losses if money is the problem, you guys are busy heating up the polity.
YourhealthNG2:

Face the message. Is the Op making any point? I think so..

The east has lost so much to this whole IPOB struggle, in terms of lives wasted, properties destroyed and financial losses.... The worst part is that what they're doing is not having any impact on Abuja. Even rag tag bandits are doing a much better job in terms drawing the attention of the entire nation and Abuja to whatever is their grievances

It's unfortunate most writers are not living nor doing business in the south east. Pains people passed through can not be imagined. It's always a free day for hoodlums. One of the sit at home day my colleagues ran for their life while their vehicle was hijacked and later seen but severely vandalized.

We have been doing sit at home for over 6months, what has it achieved? How did it affect Buhari? Why didn't you and Simon Ekpa come back to join the sit at home,most of you are not based in the east, so it's easy to support sit at home

If they are punishing themselves, why is it your headache? All this while they have been suffering marginalization and herdsmen attack, you never showed any concern. Now they are trying to use sit-at-home to approach their problems, you have suddenly developed a concern for them. Since they are punishing themselves, let them be. If it works for them, they will know. If it does not work for them, they will know. Or, what effort or which solution have you offered them?

I just dey laugh at the academic analysis of losses incurred.

The op should help us with the cost of human lives that would be lost during mayhem and if those markets are burnt down.

He shouldn't forget to tell us the cost of being unable to farm because of herdsmen burning farms.The cost of doing business in the South east as a result of the marginalization of the FG because they are the five percenters or the dot in a circle that shouldn't be listened to.

I value lives more than any stupid wealth.Once there's life,there's hope.

So an ethnic group of over 40mln people should standstill because a fake freedom fighter and a fugitive was captured in Kenya and brought back to continue his trial where he stopped?The game is over for IPOB, they have lost the support of the public.People have seen through their evil plans to keep ndi Igbo in perpetual pain and anguish for selfish interest of one man.
